About Lions

Wherever you live, work or travel across the British Isles, you are likely to come across members of Lions clubs and the projects we support.

Lions are ordinary people who do extraordinary things to help others and support good causes throughout the British Isles. Globally we have more volunteers in more places than any other service club organisation, and love to help others and make things happen.

In 2017/18, Lions Clubs International celebrated its centenary. Click here to read more about our stories and history.

Every Lions Clubs supports a range of good causes and projects in its area where you can get involved. Every day Lions are having fun by organising remarkable and memorable fundraising activities. Every year in Europe alone, Lions Clubs’ members volunteer around 6 million hours of service and raise £88 million to support the needs of local communities.

Because we are local, we serve the unique needs of the communities in which we live. As we are global, we can address community challenges wherever they occur.

Join Us

Over 1.4 million men and women are members of Lions Clubs International. We are friends, family and global neighbours. As a social network of volunteers we share a common passion: We get involved in our local communities.

Globally we have more volunteers in more places than any other service club organisation, and love to help others and make things happen.

If you’re interested in helping your local community, volunteering, fund-raising, organising projects, using your talents, gaining new skills, making friends and having fun – you can do all of this and more as a Lions Club member or volunteer.

When individuals become a Lion, they join a local club. Many clubs are well-established with long and proud traditions. Others are newer responding to changing needs and modern ways to connect and help others. If there isn’t a club nearby, you can apply to set one up.

🦁🚁 Great News! Air ambulances across the British Isles will receive vital equipment for use in their battle against COVID-19 thanks to a generous £160,000 donation from the Lions Clubs International Foundation. 🦁🚁The Lions grant provides immediate support for this emergency service that touches lives in all our communities. Equipment and supplies was identified by air ambulance charities themselves. 💷✅The grant ( £161,468 in total) will provide separation screens, isolation and decontamination equipment as well as PPE and other supplies. 📋🚁Research by @LionsClubsBritishIsles and @airambulancesuk revealed the impact of COVID-19 on air ambulance charities meant considerable extra - unbudgeted - day to day costs alongside reduction in fund-raising. #VolunteersWeek#GoodNews#LionsGetInvolved#LCIF#COVID19...
